Reviews
Billboard review for week ending 5/5/79
The veteran rock act goes disco on its Elektra debut with Moroder producing in one of his first product releases since winning the Oscar. Moroder also engineered, plays synthesizer and co-wrote four of the six cuts with group members Russell and Ron Mael. Russell Mael's lead vocals contrast effectively with the futuristic, space age pop sound that characterizes much of Moroder's approach. This LP was recorded in part at Moroder's Musicland Studios in Munich.
Best cuts: "Academy Award Performance," "Tryouts For The Human Race," "La Dolce Vita," "The No. 1 Song In Heaven."
